About LaQuanda
Dr. LaQuanda Wiggins is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues like stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Her background includes substantial work with people affected by domestic violence, physical trauma, and emotional abuse. She uses several therapy approaches to help clients understand patterns, manage strong emotions, and rebuild confidence. Practical skills and clearer thinking are part of her focus.
In session she combines client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral ideas and solution-focused conversations. That means attention to how a person experiences emotions, looking at thoughts that feed behavior, and identifying small changes that can help day-to-day functioning. She also draws on narrative and psychodynamic perspectives when helpful to unpack life stories and repeating patterns.
Her style is interactive and conversational. Clients can expect dialog that asks about goals, current struggles, and what has helped or hindered change. She works on communication skills, workplace stress, caregiver strain, forgiveness, and self-love as part of broader treatment.
People who come for help with anger often work on recognizing triggers, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new responses. The approach balances understanding past influences with hands-on coping techniques to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Dr. Wiggins often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, which helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity.She also uses narrative ideas to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That can be useful for addressing anger that ties back to past hurt or recurring situations. Together these approaches let the therapist balance understanding life history with hands-on coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative work. She will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. This keeps the process focused and responsive to daily needs.
